With I love Xiaomi sale, Amazon brings back discounts on Xiaomi phones for 3 days

HIGHLIGHTS

The discounts for now don’t seem great. But these are Xiaomi phones and mostly they are good value for money

The discounts aren’t that big. But they are discounts alright. Amazon and Xiaomi have announced a new 3-day the sale called “I love Xiaomi” from December 6 to December 8 and in the sale there will be a number of Xiaomi phones getting discounts. The sale will see discounts on phones like the Redmi 6A, the Mi A2 and the Redmi Y2.

It is possible that during the sale, there are more discounts — and probably on more products and not just on the phones — but for now only these three Xiaomi phones are getting discounts, though the discounts are available on all variants.

To put it clearly here is what the I Love Xiaomi sale on Amazon India is offering to smartphone buyers:

— In the sale, the Mi A2 with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage will be sold at a price of Rs 14,999. Now, even though this price is after a discount of Rs 2500 (the MRP of the phone is Rs 17,999), this is not particularly the kind of discount that makes the Mi A2 a great deal. This phone has rarely sold at its MRP. It has always sold at a discounted price, in fact Rs 14,999 is kind of its unofficial MRP, something that we have seen again and again on websites like Flipkart and Amazon. In some of the sales earlier, the Mi A2 could be bought for as low as Rs 13,000. Yet, if you want a good smartphone with clean Android One software, do consider the Mi A2 for Rs 14,999. Like almost all Xiaomi phones, the Mi A2 is a phone that gives you more than what you will expect from a phone at this price.

— The Mi A2 with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage will sell for Rs 16,999 in Amazon’s I love Xiaomi sale.

— Next we have the Y2 series phones. These are the phone aimed at people who want a smartphone with good front camera. Though, that doesn’t mean the Redmi Y2 phones aren’t good in other areas. The problem, however, for the Y2 phones has been that they are neither here, nor there. They aren’t as affordable as the Redmi 6A and they are also overshadowed by the Redmi Note series. that, though, is a talk for another day. If you do want the Redmi Y2 phone, in the I Love Xiaomi sale its price starts at Rs 8,999, which is Rs 2000 discount on the MRP. This price is for the Redmi Y2 with 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. The Redmi Y2 with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage will cost Rs 10,999, a fairly decent discount on its MRP of Rs 13,499.

— Finally, there is the Redmi 6A. This is also going to be available in the I Love Xiaomi sale. The Redmi 6A will be available for Rs 5,999, which is Rs 1000 discount on its MRP. Now, this is not a new price. We have seen the Redmi 6A selling for Rs 5,999 earlier. But occasionally, it also sells at its original price of Rs 6,999. For Rs 5,999, we over here at the India Today Tech, believe that the redmi 6A is a fantastic phone. If you need an affordable smartphone, go for it.
